Rapidswitch/iomart are GDPR Compliant?

Rapidswitch/iomart are GDPR compliant

GDPR compliance can’t actually be “certified” as there is no official certification process. However, you can rest assured that iomart fully satisfies all our obligations under the new regulations.

As the UK’s most accredited provider of managed cloud services, we build data protection and data security into every aspect of our operations. We continue to incorporate our multiple ISO accreditations plus international guidelines and codes of practice into our management standards.

Iomart (Our parent company) are ISO 9001 and 27001 certified.
These ISOs cover data protection, security, compliance and quality of service.

Iomart's ISO accreditations are held with Isoqar.

To ensure our continued compliance, third parties can verify our ISO status by contacting Isoqar.

What does this mean for iomart customers?

GDPR splits organisations into Data Processors and Data Controllers. Data Controllers (i.e. our customers) determine the means and purposes of collecting personal data. Data Processors (i.e. iomart) is responsible for processing that data on behalf of the Data Controller.

There are some specific obligations that relate to each type of organisation under GDPR. iomart has done everything required to ensure we meet the Data Processor obligations, but, while this does help our customers, it, unfortunately, doesn’t automatically mean that our customers meet all the requirements of being a Data Controller.
